ROCKY RIVER --
Senior Justin Chislow tossed the second no-hitter of the year for Lutheran West as they dominated Cleveland Central Catholic in the first game of a double header Saturday. His curve ball in fine form, Chislow faced just the minimum in the mercy-rule shortened game. Chislow struck out nine of the fifteen he faced.

Chislow, however, failed to record the perfect game because of a four pitch walk to the second batter of the game. Before throwing the first pitch to the next batter, Chislow threw three pick off attempts to first base. The first throw looked to have the runner picked off, but senior first baseman Zach Hausmann missed the tag. Not to be discouraged, Chislow tried again. This time Hausmann got the tag down, but a split second too late. It appeared that Chislow was convinced that he would pick the runner off. Right he was. The third pickoff attempt did the trick, and then Chislow was content to go back to work on the batter. No one else made it to first base.

Lutheran West, on the contrary, had no trouble making it to first, second, third, or even home for that matter. 26 LW batters reached first. 23 of those reached second, 20 got to third, and a ridiculous 19 scored. Seniors Billy Valletto and Mitch Zaharewicz had three hits each. Seniors Mike Holick, Cal Thomay, Ryan Jones, Ty Hoy, and Hausmann had two each. In total, LW rapped out 20 hits.

Up 3-0 after two and a half innings, LW put the game out of reach by scoring 13 runs in the third inning.
